THE TRAIN ROBBERS.
Captured After an Exciting
Race.


Last night word reached this Office
from a most trustworthy source that
the gang of train robbers had been
captured, horse foot and dragons.
As the Pacific express came through
STEMS pass, near the boundery be-
tween Arizona a Id New Mexico on
Saturday, there stood ON a side-track
at that point an engine attached to the
caboose. By the side of the road sat
three men heavily ironed and over
them stood three deputy sheriffs with
loaded Winchesters in hand. AT a
short distance there was a posse of
nearly twenty men on horseback in
hot pursuit of three more desperadoes
whose chance of escape each moment
grew small and beautifully less. The
six men were none others than the
train robbers in the recent affair at
Papago Station, east of Tucson, Ariz.
There is no doubt but seven of this
desperate gang of train robbers, the
six spoken of at Stems PLss, and Tay-
lor, captured in this city, are now in
tne tOllS Oh tne law, dilu VIII pay tHc
penalty of their crimes.
The details of their capture are
most interesting, but the whole story
is not ripe for publication. For more
than ten days detectives have been
on to the whole lay, and were
waiting to catch Taylor who was
known to be about this city, before
proceeding after the gang whose
rendezvous was learned to be near
Stems, Paris, in the mountains be-
tween the two territories. 1t is to be
hoped the right parties are in hand,
and that nothing will be able to de-
liver them from their fate. The fact
that Wells, Fargo & Co.'S people, and
the railroad had a special train ready
to rush Taylor out of the reach OF a
well meaning legal proceeding which
in this case might have resulted in
miscarriage of justice, lends color to
the hope that their detectives know
what they are doing, and that there is
no mistake about the capture of the
gang.

where G. g. Chccsebro Is.

Much speculation has been in
dulged in as to where G. G.. Cheese
bro is, and wing he disappeared from
the city. A person recently back from
New York saw Charlie" there, and
spoke to him.
1t now transpires that Cheesebro
was short in his account with the
Masonic lodge to which he belonged.
1t is also intimated that a
certain milliner, whilom on Main
street, north of First, and whose
place, that knew her now knows her
no more, and who is said to have left
a legacy of some ! 0,)00 in bad
debts behind her, is near to the
evanished form of Charlie in Gotham.

New Fads md Old Society.


Washingtonians are canvassing the propriey OF
sitting down hard on the New Workers. They have
come here in such droves this winter. they live so
like the rich old Babylonans and Assyrians, and
they are actually giving magnificent dinners among
themselves without asking single local lumnary
10 take part In them. This is clearly unenduraDle.
What used to be considered quite grand in the simple
by-gone Washington can't pass muster now. The
New 1orkers have set the pace, and the Washing
tonans are bound to follow or be left at the post.
As regards any attempts TO upset the order of So
ciety, which has been the case more than once they
have TO succumb Etiquette was science in WASH
ington when O'Clock was the fashionable hour for
dining in New York, and unlike the ever-changing
society without traditions, the laws
here are fixed and invarable. strong effort has
been made TO supersede the sensible, courteous,
and elegant custom of introducing guests 10 each
foreign plan OF not introducing people, but 1t has
utterly failed at the best houses. At some Of the
second best in point OF position, although first in
point OF splendor, people are not introduced, but

First Singing OF "H ONE, sweet Home
II3rooklyn MagaZne,l

Perhaps the most thrilling quarter OF an hour Of
John Howard Paynes life was that when Jenny
Lind sang "Home, Sweet Homen TO him. The occa-
sion was the Jenny Lind concert in Washington,
the night OF December II, 1880. The assembly was,
perhaps, the most distinguished ever seen In con-
cert room in this country. The immense National
Hail. hastily constructed for the occasion on the
overlow!ng. Among the notables present and oc-
cupying front seats were President Fillmore
Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, Gen. Scott, and John
Howard Payne. Jenny Lind opened with the
',Casta Diva" and followed with the "Flute Song"
tin which her voice contested rivalry for purity
and sweetness with a flute in the duet,)
then the famous "Brd Song,n and next on
her programme the Correcting 10 America"
All the pieces were appauded apparently TO
she full capacity OF an enthusiastic audience
and Mr.. Webster, who was In his most genial after
dinner mood, emphasized the paudlt by rising from
his seat, and making Jenny a profound bow. as II
when the "Swedlsh Nightingale answered the en-
core by turning In the direction OF John Howard
Payne, and giving "Home, sweet Home with all
the wonderful tenderness, purity, and simplicity

song, the difference was at once seen between the
mechanical applause called out by display OF nne
vocaization and that elicted by the "touch OF ma
ture that makes the whole world Kim" Before the
hrst line OF the song was completed the audience
was fairly "oH its feet, and could scarcely wait for
pause TO give expression to Its enthusiasm. Peo-
